'or the Reporter
Fifty-seven Years in Business

On September 18th 1920, was PLACED
behind counter in the store of Nehemiah
| Flagg, of Augusta, with whom remained
three years and half. On the 9TH day
of October lS3j, | was admitted into the
family, and Installed As clerk in the
store of Capt. Joseph Pattcn of Miburn,
now Skowhegan, and wa assigned one
half of Il good bed in a room occupied by
my employers son, generally known in
Somerset and two counties east of Som
erset, as DR. 5. A. Patten.
The doctor and myself still represent
our ndividualitcs on earth. "l'ncle and
aunt Pattcn,' together with two sons,
Milton H. and Joseph l.. and one daugh-
ter, the late Mrs. Hopkins, are represent
ing their individual earth life in Heaven.
And God only knows how soon the doctor
aud myself may be thrown back into
mother carth's lap for distribution ac-
cording to the inevitable laws of nature,
and be assigned our position for future
life.
On the 9th day of May 1897, in company
with our late deceased friend, Joseph
kmball as partner, | commenced trade
in this village, in the store now occupied
by s. W Lawton and son, and have CON
tinued merchandising for at least 1I-ljths
of the time since During my 81 year
of clerking and work for myself, | have
formed the acquaintance. and dealt with a
few people who, in my Judgement were
not at all times willing to do rs they
would be done by. But on footing up
own time and life ledger, have come to
the conclusion that ) d. has proved to
be about As big a rascal as any with
whom have dealt; as he ever has been
the most eNacting and hardest man to
settle with that have ever met
During my 80 years residence in this,
Skowhegan village, many changes and
incidents have taken place; some of
which, should they be written out, might
prove to be quite interesting and possibly
somewhat amusing. At this day there
are but six men living, both sides of the
river, who were heads of families when
came to town. Namely: VIM. b. Nor.
rill, John McCrillis, oliver Walker, A. +.
Parln and Otis Pennington, all towns
men to-day and Samuel Soule of San
Francisco. The public would be aston
ished, should tell them the number of
business failures that have taken place in
this village during the past 80 years.
Fifty-seven years behind selfish store
counteri Have those, who have stood
outside of my counter, for 30 years of my
ever thought that count
er has two sides? If not, and not too late,
step behind one for one year and learn
of both sides. Did know at
this moment that God would call me home
before the going down of to.day's sun,
should feel justified in saying to my old
friends and customers-good bye-I do
nate you just one-half of my old counter,
the other half | will take along with me,
as 1t will prove the best record can pro-
duce for an carth's life record to settle

Island Avenue Church.

Rev. A. J. Racklih, pastor of the Con
grcgationalist church in this village, ad-
yiscd his congregation last Sunday that
his physicians had commanded him to
disist from mental labor for an indefinite
length of time and in view of this fact,
he was compelled to notify them that he
would have to be relieved from all pas
toral work, except the occupancy or the
supplying of the pulpit until the first Sun
day in July, and at that time from all
pastoral work The adoption of this
course had caused him severe struggle
for several weeks past and he hoped the
period of enforced quiet and rest would
not be very long. He had tpurposcd to
resign and leave the society free to call
another pastor but upon consultation
with members of the church of whom he
is in the habit of taking counsel he de
cidcd not to do so for .he present He
announced business meeting of the
church and society to be held Tuesday
evening. The members of the church
and society are sad ut the misfortune of
their pastor, and in this many of other
societies and our citizens very generally
join them. IL is hoped he will speedily
regain his health and resume his pastoratc
here at an early day.
An informal meeting of the Congrc-
gational Church and Society was held at
. bn la,
of those present was expressed as in ia
yor of giving Mr.. Rackliif leave of alb
scencc until September LIST, lsSs. |
Messrs A. Il. BiXby, L. l.. Walton, and |
J. a. Colby were chosen committee to |
see what can be done in regard to sup |
plying the pulpit during Mr.. Racklih's alb |
scencc, and also to see that a regular |
meeting Of the Society is called to take
action on the matter

PrIna Facie Evidence.

Ancwsplpcr correspondent at Augusta writes
at now turns out that ap0thecaros and retail
liquor dealers are generally taking out United
States licenses in this division Of the Maine
internal revenue district excepting in a few in
stances. In some of the small towns where the
business is light druggists have not paid the
tax, they would not incur the risk of imprison :
mcnt for the small returns obtained. In Au-
guSta, it is stated. but few, il any, dealers have
continued their licenses. In Lewiston some
half dozen druggists and in Rockland several
have not obtained the United States stamp.
This means that the dealers believe they can
escape the new law making the holding licenses
prima tactc evidence and from present APP
perances it would seem that their expectations
are not without some foundation. 1t is report
ed that fictitious names are being used but the
law requires that the real name of the dealer
shall appear in the application. This is OF
waited, it is said, by forwarding the applications
to Washington, where they cannot be inspect
ed evidence. Thus only false name APP
pears on the collectors books. The deputies
however, will probably be summond into the
courts to give evidence relative to the payment
of the special taxes, and if they possess any in
formation regarding the real names of the deal
ers, it is supposed they must, it will be re-
quired Of them. The order issued BY the Presi-
dent that the Maine and Vermont ntenal rev
enue districts be consolidated with the New
Hampshire district adds u phase to the
situation. Collector Redman will have TO re-
tire, his office will be closed and the records
transferred to the New Hampshire official
which will probably be located at Portsmouth
This will add difficulty in obtaining copies for
use evidence and make 1t impossible to sum
mon the collector into court. 1t is expected
that one of the Maine deputies will be dispensed
with and two divisions made with possibly one
or more of the southwest counties operated by
the Portsmouth Office

When we went to press last week the
surveyors were making the working sur
vey between Scion and Bingham. oi'
Thursday, Engineer Stewart having COM
pleted that survey, came 10 this village
with his competent assistants, ana on
Friday began the working survey between
here and Scion. Friday aud Saturday
they worked on the route from the Maine
Central yard across Madison street aud
thence up along Written Brook to the
plains and the Russell road crossing.
Monday morning they pitched Their tent
on the Frank Ward farm near the Madl-
son line, about one-half mile west OF the
road to Madison Center
The route from Scion to Bingham
along the river is favorable one and
one of the finest eight miles sections Of
roadway in the State. The route from
Skowhegan to Scion presents some en-
cheering difficulties but none that are
unsurmountable
The prospect OF grading being com
menced on the line here at an early day
is bright. Every appearance is that the
road will be built Indeed there is little
If any room for doubt but that the dirt
will begin TO fly as soon as the location is
approved by the railroad Commissioners.
The date for the hearing has not been
fixed yet, or rather has not been made
public, but it Is understood that it win be
at this place at n day in the near future.
When the work is begun it will be pushed
forward vigorously.
There is talk in regard to other routes
connecting the Maine Central with the
Canadian Pacific, the Wiseassct and Que.
bee, Franklin and Megantic, the Scbasti-
cook and Moosehead, and the Penobscot
Central, but it is generally conceded tina,
the b. & q Air Line has the brightest
prospects at this time.

President Cleveland In working his
boom for SO finds it desirable to reply by
letter to resolutions of Grand Post No. II
q. \. r., of Wilmington, Delaware, as
follows:
II am in receipt of your letter of the
It'll inst, transmitting engrossed resolu-
tions of General L. S. Grant Post No. II,
approving my executive action in vctoing
the Dependent Pension bill, beg to cx-
express through you to the members of
the post my appreciation of their endorse
ment and my thanks for the courtesy
manifested in the form of their approval.
1t sometimes happens that official con
duct clearly demanded by an imperative
obligation of public duty is made difficult
by counter influences and inclinations
which grow out OF sympathy or by dis
position to follow with ease aud comfort
the apparent current sf popular opinion.
Those of our citizens not holding office,
and thus entirely free from the solemn
obligation of protecting the interests of
the people, often fail to realize that their
public servants are to Il large extent de
barred in official action from the indul-
gence of those charitable impulses which
in private life are not only harmless but
are commendable. While the depriva-
ton should be regarded as one of Q
stern incidents of II faithful performance
of official duty, and while it should be en-
dured with the resignation arising from
an unfaltering faith in the ultimate JUS
tice of the American people, it is never
theless gratifying to receive such express
ions as are contained in the resolutions
now before me-"
In our view of the signing of the Mexi-
can pension bill, that was largely for the
benefit of his Southern friends, it will
take more than oae snch letter to justify
his action with Union veterans.

Enjoy Life.

Nature gives us grandeur of mountains,
glens and oceans, and thousands of means

out with disease, when there is no occa-
sion for this feeling, as every sufferer can
easily obtain satisfactory proof, that

According to the best accounts rcceiy-
ed 1t seems to have been gross careless
ness that caused the collision between the
Celtic and Britannia, the particulars Of
which are given elsewhere. Happily it
took place within reach of port, aud the
injuries were not such as to sink either
vessel Had it been otherwise, the most
shocking marine disaster Of the year
might have resulted. The case was bad
enough as it was. The story of the cow
ardce and selfish brutality of one steam
ships crew in taking possession of the
boats, the unfeeling treatment of the poor
Storage passengers, and the indecent and
outrageous haste in disposing of the vic
tins, is disgraccful in the extreme.
